LONDON
Liverpool confirmed Thursday the signing of Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker for 67 million pounds (73 million euros) from Rome, for the next six seasons.
Alisson, 25, becomes the most expensive guardian in the history of the Premier League before Ederson, signed a year ago by Manchester City for 40 million euros .
The Brazilian goalkeeper played 49 games with Roma last season helping the Italian team reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, where it lost to Liverpool.
In addition, he participated in the five Brazilian matches at the last World Cup in Russia, in which their team was eliminated by Belgium in the quarterfinals.
The Brazilian is the fourth signature of Jürgen Klopp of Fabinho (50 million), Nabi Keita (60 million) and Xherdan Shaqiri (15 million) and the second most expensive in the history of Liverpool, behind that of Virgil van Dijk, which cost 84 million in January this year.
Alisson trained in the lower classes of the Brazilian International club that he sold in Rome last summer for 8 million euros.
The guard arrives in Liverpool to challenge the property of German Loris Karius.
Karius who defeated the Belgian Simon Mignolet in Anfield's goal last season, was criticized for his unfortunate performance in the Champions League final, after two noisy mistakes that allowed Real Madrid to score the first and fourth goals of the game.
In addition, this pre-season Klopp had to show support, after Karius cost a goal against the Reds in a friendly against the Tranmere ing
